It's a nice thought, but even useless people have money. Just think of the last 50 dumbasses you talked to, almost all of them at least had some pocket change, and it's likely that at least a half-dozen were moderately successful.

That's pretty much the basic premise of the Chuang Tzu.

What if a bigger guy beats you up and takes your wallet? Does that mean you're useless?

I actually do occasionally play dumb on purpose, especially at work if I get an annoying customer. People tend to be less angry and more sympathetic if they think you're a complete idiot stumbling through life.

I was a legend for the day I played off an irate customer with my autism symptoms.

I would say that some people under-perform because they're being exploited. Being vulnerable is not ameliorated by productivity, but most of us recognize that this post is not accurate.. right?

For the non weeb the joke here is that in Mobpsycho Reigen is the mentor of Mob the MC but Reigen is "useless " because he dont have psychic powers and fake them. But Mob who is in admiration of Reigen has real psychic power.

Useless people are perfect as cannon fodder and human shields.

Everyone makes a pretty decent catfish bait, so you're never useless 🥰

Yes mr rival Ceo, you really should chose Deceptichum to lead sensative project.

The way they work may seem eccentric and counterproductive at first but over time i am sure there unique skills will blow you away.
